Cupcake named in honor of Stephanie Nielson

Last week, it was brought to our attention that Stephanie Nielson, a remarkable woman who has inspired and lifted thousands of us across the country for years, loves our Vanilla Squared Cupcakes. She even posted about them on her blog the NieNie Dialogues . She jokingly mentioned that she thought we should "name it vaNIElla squared because I can guarantee I will single-handedly keep that cupcake selection going."

After a few email exchanges with Stephanie, we learned that she was "ecstatic" and "touched" about the idea. As such, we have officially changed the name of our "Vanilla Squared" cupcakes to "VaNIElla Squared." We figured the gesture would be a 'sweet' little legacy for her--who has candidly taught so many of us about the joys of life/motherhood. Her attitude, faith, honesty, outlook, understanding of what's important is so inspirational and so appreciated.

Her story is truly remarkable...you can read it here.

We are planning to hold a fundraiser at the shop next month (which is her birthday month) for her and her family. We will keep you posted about details....
